That's more than I would have guessed. Cool.

So of the 68 remaining locales which fail, most are due to a couple
scripts.

Well, any one test can have alternative "expected" scripts; but in
previous discussions we decided that that facility should not be
used for locale issues. It would tend to get into multiplicative
permutations with other reasons to have alternatives. What we have
done is to try to create tests that don't hit those edge conditions
when we know of them.
Could you share your detailed information on the remaining failures?
